Am I late to the party? Yeah, I thought so.

The pixelated sign can't hide that the motel is between Colorado and Santa Monica Blvds. on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica.

It was used in a couple of movies and shows up in more than one Spy Thriller paperback - including the turgid "Red Dragon" ...

and no one is calling you late.

hmm. where are you getting that location? are there some street signs in the eisode i didn't see? or is it recognizable from other movies/shows?
the only thing like that motel in that location that i can find with google maps/streetview is the Pacific Sands:

and at least one Yelp reviewer says they got bedbugs.

you're kidding me, that motel is a real place? what is its Significance?

Also I don't know if anyone else noticed the french guy was dressed sort of like Craven the hunter, spider-man's arch.

The exterior looks like it when you combine the Sands with the Travel Lodge next door. The Tiki Surf Gods theme appears on a motel closer to Loews.

I posted a pic on Noise to Signal.
